No, I don't think so, Lee.

He has a machine with more than one interface, and therefore, more than
one address.  He's using *names* in his hosts.hfaxd, and when HF does a
lookup to get an address, it's coming back with the wrong one, due to
DNS round-robin, as he suspected. 

*My* solution would be always to use IP addresses in hosts.hfaxd.
